Claass in Welding ,
Completes Course at 1
High School Plant
Last week saw the completion of
a course in welding and farm ma
chinery repair given at the Hepp-'
ner school shop two nights a
week since the beginning of th;
year. The class was organized and
sponsored by the vocational edul
cation department of the school
under the direction of Marvin
Wightman, assisted financially by
the state board of vocational edu
cation, and the local school dis
trict. Forty farmers and townspeople
attended the course 12 of whom
will be awarded diplomas for par
ticipation in five or more classes.
These are Ray Drake, John Grav
es, Ralph Beamer, Earl McKinney,
Esten Stevens, Barton Clark, Paul
Jones, Howard Evans, Kenneth
ISmouse, Douglas Drake, Marvin
Davis and Claude Drake.
Because of the limited equipment
the class was kept small, and the
generosity of the owners of weld,
ing equipment in bringing their
own outfits was largely responsi
ble for the success of the course.
At one tme a shortage of acetylene
gas threatened to bog down the
entire project. Those who contrib
uted equipment and materials were
McKinney, Smouse, Mankin and
Bunch, Cutsf orth and Graves, Ray
Drake and Markham Baker.
Several films were shown, deal
ing with arc welding, care of the
farm tractor and soil conservaton.
Ray Kent, of the Pendleton Soil
Conservation district, discussed re
opening of the Heppner Soil Con
servation distrct in March.
The pupils themselves were gen
erous in their praise of the course,
and .each seemed to feel that he
had made a worth-while invest
ment of is time. Altohugh several
had never had experience with
welding torches to begin with not
one was unable, at the finish, to
make simple welds and do most
emergency repair work on farm
machinery calling for welding.
Others who have used welding out
fits for years argued that the ac.
quisition of a few welding tricks
increased the ulseful application of
this form of repair.
Harold Becket, who taught the
classes, said, "I was lucky in hav
ing a group of men to instruct who
were eager to learn and worked
hard to master everything that was
demonstrated. I could not have had
a better group with which to work."
